Thank you for the discussion folks, I’ll try out Llama.cpp and report back.
I also saw the Neural Engine Stuff hasn’t been merged into main kernel yet but it’s available as a separate out of tree patch. Hopefully merging that will help with more model support? (Pure guesswork)
I also saw that PCL stuff isn’t ready yet and u/marcan42 said it’s WIP that also might be helpful in getting better model support because read somewhere that metal isn’t going to be a part of the Asahi kernel ever(?)
I’m no expert at any of this but hopefully we’ll be able to run some sort of GPTs locally someday.
Good luck.
None of the CEOs you’ve mentioned have changed before or after the pandemic except AMZN.
I think it’s unfair to say Tim Cook hasn’t had a hit. They started the watch line up, AirPods, the M series chips are some solid products and revenue streams. Also while he may not be a “visionary” I think he is done a mighty fine job of making AAPL one the best brands to exist.
The economic climate changed since the pandemic and the cards dealt now are a bit difficult compared to the low 0% interest rate times.
All I’m saying is, I disagree with your opinion by adding my two cents, but to each their own :)
